Atomic drivers only use the property value store for immutable (i.e.
can't be set by userspace, but the kernel can still adjust it)
properties. The only tricky part is the removal of the update in
drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state().

drm/atomic: Update legacy DPMS state during modesets, v3.
by copying it from the i915 code, where it was originally added in

drm/i915: update dpms property in set_mode
for the legacy modeset code. The reason we needed this hack was that
i915 didn't yet set DRIVER_ATOMIC, and we checked for that instead of
the newer-ish drm_drv_uses_atomic_modeset(), which avoids such
troubles. With the correct feature checks this isn't needed anymore at
all.
Also make sure that drivers don't accidentally get this wrong by
making the exported version of drm_object_property_get_value() only
work for legacy drivers. Only gma500 uses it anyway.
v2: Fixup the uses_atomic_modeset() checks (Maarten)
